Q

what is the method for testing for sulfate ions?

A

acidify with dilute hydrochloric acid
add barium chloride

17
Q

what forms if sulfate ions are present?

A

a white precipitate

18
Q

why do we add nitric acid when testing for halides?

A

the nitric acid removes any carbonates,
stopping a precipitate forming with the silver added after

19
Q

what are the advantages and disadvantages of using instrumental methods in chemical analysis?

A

advantages:
greater sensitivity and accuracy
faster results
able to analyse smaller/ tiny samples

disadvantages:
instruments are often expensive
special training is required to operate the instruments
results are often only useful when compared to a known substance

20
Q

what is the method for flame emission spectroscopy? (2steps)

A

1)place a sample of the metal in a flame, light will be given off
2) light given off is captured by a spectroscope, the spectroscope produces a line spectrum by differentiating the different wavelengths

21
Q

what is the output of a spectroscope?

A

a line spectra

22
Q

what can we use flame emission spectroscopy to investigate?

A

what metal ions are present
what concentrations the ions are in

23
Q

what do impurities do to the boiling point of a substance?

A

increase the boiling point and increase the range at which the substance boils
